My parents gave me a gear indicator for my birthday. Its called brain, ass, and ears. It works on every bike I have owned.

Yea but im wondering about whether its precise enough not to count a down or upshift into neutral as an actual shift.

I mean the only time having a gear indicator would be beneficial, IMO, would be at the track. And even after an hour at a new track, you should have an idea what gear to be in at what turn, its kind of important. |

mine works most of the time but every once in a while it's convinced that there's a 7th gear...

Whatever, I had a gear indicator on my '81 Seca 750 and I missed it until I got another one... Now if every OEM would install blinker cancel on every bike like I had on my '88 VMax, I could die happy...
